Alphand himself will furnish the garden,
which will beautify and enhance all the

To II. Alphand is due the credit OF the
plan for tie buildings and grounds, which re-

central building with two wings, surrounded
by an immense space to convert into gar

cadero, situated Oh the other side of tho

spectator coming across the river to rest upon

The most conspicuous feature will DO tho
Eild tower, which has already been nearly
as much talked about as the tower Of Babel.
1t will have place at the head OF the expo.
sition in front of the garden.
This projected tower has been the OBJ
ject of much wrath and ridicule. Its adj
versnries have been numerous and powerful.
Architects, artists, critics Of art and others
attacked it. Among other unnattcring
names it was called "thc cloud of tho expo.
sition." Still, tho ridiculc which usually
kills both people and projects in Paris
with equal ease has not been able
to destroy it. The reason given by LII
lrstration is that tho people are saturated
with exhibitions Of industrial products, and
that it is necessary to find something new to
awaken their interest aud command their
attention. This novelty has been found in
the tower OF Ei!Tel. SO called because il is the

propertv holders can well afford to forego
picturesqueness so long as greater safety is
attained The modern fire house is certainly
n most ingenious affair, and Chicago has led
the world, If we except Ham White, of SYRIA
/, cuse, n. Y, in everything that pertains to
lnremen getting to fires in hurry. Every
body has seen or heard Of tie sliding pole de-
vice, whereby flremen get from their beds
TO their machines without much loss of time,
the electrical apparatus for loosening the
horses, starting the fire in the engine, etc.
Few believed there could be any further i'm
provement in this direction, but Chicago was
of the opinion that this was n mistake, and
has demonstrated that her opinion is correct.
The authorities of that city have now per-
fected devices by which they hope to start
nearly even with any fire that can be kindled.
In addition to the best machines Of the latest
invention, they have n system peculiarly
their own for getting tho flremen
out early. The men sleep on the
second floor, directly over the patrol
wagon and horses; trap doors open from
their room, and stairs easily sliding into
place conduct the men to the wagon. The
cots on which the men sleep stand in circle,
and from the inner end of each goes a cord
over pulley in the center, me end of tho
cord fast to the bed clothes, the other to a
weight attached to the pulley; the electric
shock which gives the fro alarm displaces
this weight, it drops, and the cords snatch

Che bed clothes from the sleepers in an in
slant The same shoc. releases the catch on
the trap DOORS; they rise as the stairs sink to
their places. The men thus suddenly awaL-
ened bound from their bcds-they sleep
dressed all but boots and hats--go down the
stairs and are on the wagon by the time the
horses are hitched, putting on their outer
clothing as they are whirled through tue
streets. In less than one minute from the
first alarm they may be on their way to the
fire, and It takes very few minutes indeed
TO make all the difference between saving
and losing millions of dollars. The scheme
is not only good in itself, but it is character
istic OF Chicago.

David X. Cartier, chief justice Of The court
of the District Of Columbia, died at his resi-
dencc in Washington on the evening Of April
1G, aged nearly % years. He was the last of
that small circle who were on Intimate terms
with Abraham Lincoln and are credited with
doing much to fix the tone Of his odministra-
ton as far as it was personal. Judge Cartier
had completed twcnty-iour years of continu-
Gus service as chief justice OF the district,
having taken the place early in 1868 by ap-
pointnent Of Prcsiden. Lincoln. When he
was appointed the courts Of the district were
in chaos; he organized ii good system and
maintained high standard OF judicial integ-
rity. He had led the so called bolt in tho
Ohio delegation in the Chicago convention of
1850, which resulted In the nomination Of
Lincoln, and was n devoted friend and sup
porter of the president to tho last. He was
also among the first to take strong ground in
favor of tho nomination OF Grant, and

from Yokohama to Vancouver by
steamer, as mentioned few days ago,

The Omaha road will sell Fourth of
July excursion tickets to all stations on
the line OF its road at a rate of one and
one-third fare for the round trip, except
from points in Nebraska to Sioux City
or beyond, or from points north of
Sioux City, the latter included, to points
in Nebraska, in which case thirty-five
cents is to be added to the excursion
rate to Coyington or Sioux City, as the
ease may be, to the excursion rate from
either of these points of destination.

of the extension of the Sioux Falls line
from Salem to Mitchell, Oak, which
will be open for passenger traffic Sum
day, June 26. The trains now running
between WOrthington and Sioux Falls,
connecting with day trains between ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and Sioux City, will
continue to run as at present. In addi-
ton to the above service new train
will be added. This train will carry
through Pullman Sleepers between st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Mitchell. This
new line reduces the distance between
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mitchell over
twenty miles.
Another railroad is soon to be built to the
North Wisconsin pinery. Its course will be
from the Chippewa valley to Ashland, prob
ably having for its southern terminus Chip
peWa Falls, and making as near as possible
an air line to its northern destination. The
road will pass through the center of the pine
region tributary to the Chippewa river. 1t is
proposed TO keep close to the Chippewa and
to so locate the new line that it will open up
as much timber as can be reached, it being

be a profitable business for the road in haul

THE BURTON CARS.
Testimony Taken by the Interstate
Commission.

WASHINGTON. June 22.-The hearing
upon the complaint of the Burton Stock
Car company was continued by the in
terstate commerce commissioners to-day.
John ". Street, of Chicago, vice presi-
dent of the Street Stable Car company,
was sworn and described the car of
which he is the inventor. Witness
stated the subject of conversations with
the officers of various railroad compa-
nies who had declined to accept the traf-
hc by patent car except upon the terms
of the published classification, by which
a charge in excess of transportation by
ordinary ears was made. 1t was de-
velOped that the shippers of stock by
the ordinary cars were required to pur-
chase their hay Of the stock yard COM
panieS at 81 to $50 per hundred,
whereas the ordinary price was only
about 80 or 10 cents a hundred.
This testimony was objected to by the
atom IS of the railroads 0n the ground
of irrelevancy. Ge:. Butler said lie
wished to show that there is a combi-
nation to make profits. which profits
are the mOtiveS underiA ing the opposi-
ton of the roads to the use of patent
cars. The chairman said the proving
Of the motive would not prove the dis
CIilH:lidllSIl dSdIliSJ llle COlnpldlllantS.
The objection was sustained. The first
witness called by the respondents was
MIR. ii. b. Stone, of Chicago, general
manager of the Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy road. He was examined by
Mr.. Writ Dexter of counsel for the
company. He stated that it was the
policy of his road to own the cars
whiC h it used in the transportation of
stock. He thought such policy essen
tial to the succe ssful operation Of the
line. Nearly all stock transportation
was eaSt-bOund and it was necessary to
have cars which could be
used for other classes of merchandise
when being returned to the West.
Witness was familiar with the Burton
car. and declared it was not pra acticable
to ship either lumber or Street rails
thereon. In busy times, when the road
was taxed to its utmost, if there was a
class of ears which must be hauled
empty when west bound it might so de-
crease the carrying capacity of the road
as to make it Impossible to move the
freight presented. He referred to the
points in which Mr.. Burton claimed his
cars were superior to the ordinary cars.
and III detail denied that they were SUI
periOr. With the close of the hearing
i'll the case the commission will have
cleared its docket of cases to-day for
hearing, and will take a recess until
the 18th of July.

OMAHA. June 22.-Before the Pacific
Investigating committee to-day Guy c.
Barton, president of the Omaha Smelt-
ing and Refining company, was exam
ined. Sidney Dillon and Fred1 rick l..
AmeS were the only officers of the
Union Pacific connected with the COM
pany. They each held $50 shares stock
worth par. When asked by Gov Patti
son why his company in one period of
sixteen months received rebates of $780,
0G0 from the Union Pacific, witness re-
piled that this had been allowed in
order that low grade ore could be made
Saleable. If the full tariff was eXacted
it could nCA be handled. The company
also did twice as much business as any
other concern of its class in the coun-
try. Its competitors enjoyed similar 9ss
bate privileges. General Tariff Maf-
ager kimball was recalled. The
Union Pacific had to pay re-
bates because its competitors
did. AS to discrimination. witness said
i'll some cases the company gave prefer
ence by rebate to large shippers who
were under obligation to send all their
business by the Union Pacific. He adj
mitted that this might in some eases
shut out small shippers. The company
had given rebates to the Standard Oil
company. and there had been times
when that company had a pretty large
preference over all other shippers of
oil. This might be embarrassing to
small shippers, but the Union Pacific
found it embarrassing when the Stand
ard tOc K its business away and gave it
to the Pacific Mail. which would trans
port for the Standard S00,000 cases of oil
by sea before the year was cut. The
commissioners requested Mr.. kimball to
furnish comparative statistics of the
business done by the Union Pacific for
the Standard and other companies. Adj
